Reuters. Ukraine's parliament voted on Thursday (July 31) to restore the independence of two key anti-corruption agencies, moving to defuse the country's biggest political crisis since Russia's invasion.
Lawmakers voted 331 to 0 in favour of the bill, which President Volodymyr Zelenskiy submitted last week following pressure from thousands of protesters and top European officials.
The measure now goes to Zelenskiy for a signature. People gathered outside parliament, in an attempt to pressure lawmakers to approve the new bill, prior to the vote.
A stream was set up to follow the vote, and when news broke that parliament voted for the bill, the protesters applauded.
